    Never seen that before...

    happened to young Cap Backstrom last year. also happened to Wallin a couple years ago when the Canes were playing the Caps, it was a beautiful beautiful thing (still is, despite the karma with Backstrom, ha).

    Fedorov & Shanahan

    Shanny didn't get along with Babcock ... of course Shanny never really gets along with any of his coaches, so.

    Whiteout at the Mellon Arena

    No doubt, I have a good friend who's a Pens fan, was at the game and gave me a phonecall, I had to hang up on her because I could not hear a single thing over the other people in the arena. That place is freakin loud. But about a "blackout"--according to Brodeur, the puck can't be seen against a black background, so you will likely not see that. But a gold-out would be something odd to see if nothing else.

    Franzen Out For The Season

    I'm no professional on these matters, but I would think that if he had "blood on the brain," Franzen would be in the hospital and definitely not participating in light workouts. I don't believe the guy you overhead for a second.
  7. Not a big fan of the *** ones, but I'll give this one to you, it made me probably because it's a little subtle.

    NBC Weekend game?

    Are you kidding?! NBC has the horse race all day Saturday!

    Kolzig to replace Hasek?

    The problem with Kolzig is that he does not want to share goaltending duties; he wants to be the clear-cut starter, that's why he's leaving DC. As a Caps fan, it saddens me that he doesn't realize the time has come to take a cut in playing time.

    2008 Photoshop War: Red Wings vs. Stars

    Totally forgot about that, oops. Thanks for the reminder.

    2008 Photoshop War: Red Wings vs. Avalanche

    Shouldn't you have used the opposite heads for the Hasek and Cheli one?

    why?

    I believe that the individual leagues deal with the blackouts; if I'm not mistaken, MLB is thinking about changing their restrictions soon.
  13. some kid

    why?

    Wow, that's some crazy BS right there. They seriously need to do something about their blackout restrictions, it's absolutely ridiculous, I think that if you don't live within a reasonable driving distance of the team then you should get to watch it on TV ... don't know how they expect to have fans any other way. I know that the fiasco in PA made the Philadelphia Inquirer, so maybe that'll help motivate them to fix it.
  14. some kid

    why?

    I don't think you're supposed to be blacked out. This happened in PA with the Devils/Rangers game on Sunday. Only if you are within 50 miles of either participating team's city is the game supposed to be blacked out. I'd call VS and tell them about it, they'll look it up to make sure. The rep I spoke with regarding being blacked out on Sunday was super-nice, but they didn't get it fixed before the game was over. But telling them that there is a problem might prevent it from happening again--I got tonight's Devils/Rangers game.

    Ovechkin needs to go somewhere else

    In the case of the Caps, it's more the division alignments than the too many teams that is the problem as far as attendence and revenues are concerned. The Caps have been around ... 30 years I believe ... they're not new kids on the block, they're not a failed experiment like the Panthers or whatever. Take a look at this: http://japersrink.blogspot.com/2007/11/dis...nd-dollars.html Real eye-opener arguing for realignment. And ... I live in the DC-MD-PA area, and I can tell you that a good many people have at least some small inkling of who both Crosby and Ovechkin are, Ovechkin's talent isn't being wasted by being in a place that "doesn't care about hockey" or whatever, it's being wasted by a team that lacks identity and any real direction.

    Bergeron Hurt

    It was ugly, the way he hit the boards and fell. His head was crunched into the boards, it was disgusting-looking. Only update so far is that he's still unconscious at the hospital.

    Pronger

    I briefly tried googling it but didn't come up with anything, so *shrugs* who knows. If it's true, I certainly second the insane laughter. And the people in charge of engraving must be bitter Oilers fans.

    Pronger

    I hate to be a party pooper, but I thought that names were put on the Cup after everyone has had their day with it? If I'm wrong, please do carry on with the laughter, because that would be made of greatness.

    Bigger Nets?

    I agree. There are much better changes that could be made to make the NHL product more attractive. Plus, bigger nets would really give it a soccer-on-ice feeling.

    Anyone interested in Zubrus?

    I find him more of a 3rd-line guy, which we have plenty of. I wouldn't be completely against signing him, but that could be tough, he wanted over $4 mil from Washington, that's why they traded him.

    Unveiling of league's New Uni's

    I don't know about the Wings, but I know that the Capitals are unveiling their new logo at the draft (I'm excited lol). It'd make sense if all the teams showed off the new unis at the draft, but who knows.

    stuffed Octopi

    That made me LOL, and so did Dom when he drifted toward the dead octopus at the blueline, looked at, and skated away.
